Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Pittsburgh Steelers: Match Prediction, Injury Report & Players to watch out for

Published by

Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will face Kenny Pickett and the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6 in a game favored for the Bucs.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will face the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6 as Tom Brady will get to face a familiar foe from his team the New England Patriots where he had immense success over them.

The Buccaneers are coming off a win over the Falcons last week, and they will be heavy favorites against the Steelers in Week 6. The Steelers on the other hand are coming off a disastrous loss to the Buffalo Bills in week 5 as their rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett made his first NFL start.

It will be interesting to see how Pickett will play against a tough Buccaneers defense, but for the Buccaneers, this is a must-win game for them as they continue their push to the playoffs and another NFC South title.

Player to watch out for in Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Pittsburgh Steelers:

Mike Evans – Buccaneers

Mike Evans will be expected to have a huge game against the Steelers whose defense has looked shabby this season, and him being the favorite target for Brady could result in him getting multiple touchdowns on Week 6.

Match Prediction & Telecast Details:

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers should be able to get the win over the Steelers who have been quite poor this season, and Tom Brady would love to see his team pouring more misery over the Steelers.
